To those of you whom are not NBA watchers, legendary guard Allen Iverson's last team is the Memphis Grizzlies. They are bad. Not just bad but turrible. Where am I going you ask? The latest news out of the Grizzlies camp is that AI has had enough. He is taking some personal leave and goin to ATL, where he rests his head in the offseason. AI's decline has been lamented before. AI might

(No Star Wars) Think about it.  The Cowboys are doing well and here he go poppin his mouth off about something we already could see.  Roy is not T.O. and Stank-0 will let my esteemed colleague break down exactly why Roy is not T.O.

I couldn't believe what I was reading but yes it happened. It was in black and white for me to lay eyes on and I must say, all I could do was laugh. Roy Williams (you know the third best receiver on the Cowboys) yea, you all know him. Is disgruntle that Miles Austin is out shining him. I took the liberty of gathering some of Roy's quotes so please...enjoy. "It's just not even close," Williams

It just looks like at times.  Take the just-finished World Series.  This is what Stank-0 said before it started. So dear readers, who you got and in how many games. Right here and now, 6 games...NEW YORK YANKEES! Yup, you guessed it.  Stank-0 had it right on the money.  *Going to play his numbers*    Since the Yankees won, there has been unprecedented hate like it was Obama

You know, I been thinkin about a certain Houshmanzadeh lately. He jumped shipped and moved back West in search of mo cake and a change of scenery. I hope that money is making you feel better because you won't get many wins, b. The C-Hawks are turrible (No Barkley) and show no signs of getting better. They are just slightly better than bad. It's time to give this phenomenon a term, let's call

It's official NFL parity is OVER!  It was certainly fun while it lasted.  For 10 years, you had hope that you could go from worst to first...or prayed you didn't go from first to worst.  It's all over.  A hierarchy is slowly settling in.  Stank-0 been working on this in his head.  It shakes out something like this.  ELITE:  Steelers, Colts, Saints, Patriots These teams are clearly the class of

Finally the Yankees have dispatched the Angels to advance to the World Series to face a well rested Phillies team.  Stank-0 had a feeling they would close out at home. A-Rod has finally been playing some ball during the PLAYOFFS!  Keep it up and you have can have some hardware that is a bit more blingy than your MVP trophies.  Speaking of which, isn't Rodriguez pretty much a lock to get another

Howard Smith/US Presswire That's what the Philadelphia Phillies are thinkin right now.  Having bested the Dodgers to advance to the World Series for the 2nd straight year.  It's like deja vu all over again (no Yogi) The Phillies have been clutch all season long, and City of Brotherly Love needs something to cheer about.  Assuming the New York Yankees advance to the World Series, who ya got?

Stank-0 is beginning to wonder if a team even needs a big-named high priced head coach anymore?  Let's look around the NFL right now.  There are 8 head coaches with 2 seasons or less experience.  With the exception of Jim Zorn and Todd Haley, the rest of the coaches are adjusting well to being the man.  Coincidentally the offensive guys aren't doing as well as the defensive guys.  Just wanted to

Let's not mince words, dear readers.  Right now the New Orleans Saints are the team to beat in the NFC if not the entire league.  The Giants' D, which is no slouch by the way, got shredded by Drew Brees.  He looked like a video game out there...and let's not forget the Saints' D.  They did what they had to do.  Saints smacked around the Gmen 48-27 NO TYPO.  Right underneath them

The Kansas City Chieftains finally got one in the win column for this season.  The Redskins are the cure for what ails a struggling team. The score might have looked like the Chiefs put up a TD or two, but they didn't.  It was all field goals and a safety. The game was brutal from a spectator's perspective. Neither team's offense really got going.  Both defenses significantly outplayed the

Man oh man, what a game. Brasil v. Ghana. The has gone into extra sessions and even penalty kicks. Now they stand in sudden death.Ghana HAS WON! This game is an instant classic. All hats go off to Brasil, they had their chances but Ghana won in Egypt. On African soil. Their first World Cup Final. The final is 4-3 on penalty kicks. What is it about Brasil that you just root for them to win?

(Fenway Park, Boston) Dear readers, Stank-0 needs your help.  It's a sports matter of national security utter importance.  Let's give some background.  Stank-0 is not a fan of obnoxious fans.  Never have been never will be.  When Stank-0's beloved J-Hawks took the title in 2008, Stank-0 was very glad to have them win but didn't go around rubbing it in people's faces unless they

This was partly inspired by a blog post.  Stank-0 was actually goin to write at the half way point, but why not now and then at the halfway point?  What do we know at this point?  Not much because we are only 4 games in and there's still alot of football left to play. The AFC is as jumbled as always.  Right now you could name at least 6-8 teams off the top that could be in the AFC title

Let's start with a basic definition:  Brohmitis, which is a highly acclaimed player (generally QB) who decides to stay another year in college after his name was thrown around as a high draft pick.  Named after Brian Brohm of Louisville who stayed another year.  Upon entering the draft, scouts nitpicked his game apart.  Clearly Brohm should have struck while the iron was hot.  Stank-0 feels like

OH man …week 3 was eventful. You got to call the lions the top story of the week. It’s not because it was a win against a marquee team or anything but going 0-19 and snapping that type of streak is a big deal. I for one was not even a bit surprised to see the Redskins fall and you could just tell by how the game felt that it was coming. I don’t even know how to explain the Redskins honestly.

So if you have been reading, you saw part one of Stank-0's NFL goon hunt. Too avoid being excessively wordy and to make you come back for the next installment, it was split into two parts AFC and NFC. We covered the AFC so it's the NFC's turn now. NFC East: Giants: Brandon Jacobs aka the Hammer and Justin Tuck are the only players with enough goon in them to warrant any mention.

Ah goons! The glue to a squad or the combustion that blows them apart. Sometimes that can be the one and the same (i.e. Ron Artest, before and after the Brawl).Many sports bloggers (and commentors) have admitted the necessity of having some goons on the squad. If you look at some past Super Bowl and NBA Finals winners, there is at least one serviceable goon.The Pittsburgh Steelers:They are

Week 3 was supposed to be all about Vick and the Eagles.  They toyed with the Chieftains however they liked.  It wasn't even close and Dwayne Bowe's injury removed the one skill player the Chiefs even had.  That's not even the biggest story of the week.  The Iggles skill players are comin into their own.  McNabb's injury is a blessing in disguise.  Kolb gets some valuable playing time and he gets

If you think week 1 was something to watch week 2 brought about even more excitement! The Jets are FRESH off a DUB over the Patriots and feeling as clean as ever. I watched every "pro" analyst say the J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS! JETS! didn't stand a chance. I have to wonder, who is the genius signing these guys checks?
